I have a template which contains among other things, two custom toolbars for
the template. I can't find how to get them to display in Word 2007 (the
template and toolbars work perfect in 2003, but I must create this document
in 07). Anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks

Thanks for the information. I read your directions, however when I installed
2007, I did it as an upgrade so it doesn't sound like your instructions are
going to work for me since I'm not running both versions

You do not need to be running both versions. If you open a document based
on the template in Word 2007, the buttons from the toolbars (but not the
toolbars themselves) will be available under the Add-ins tab.

All the discussion of both versions on Graham's website is there for the
purpose of showing how both can be installed on the one machine to allow
continued creation of Word 2003 templates containing toolbars so that the
buttons on them can be available in Word 2007 as mentioned above.

Hope this helps.

The only proviso is that the Word 2003 template needs to be saved with the
custom toolbar floating and displayed for it to show up in 2007.
